When I first arrived in Hokage, Kaguya Ji insisted on forcing me to make a choice

The tree wants to be calm and the wind does not stop.

Born without sin, it is a crime to possess a jade.

This sentence is best interpreted in the Kingdom of Whirlpool.

The Country of Whirlpool, Whirlpool Village, where the Whirlpool clan lives,

The huge chakra in their bodies and their powerful sealing techniques have always been famous in the ninja world.

This clan has been distant relatives with the Mori Senju clan since ancient times and has always been a staunch ally.

During the Warring States Period, the two tribes formed an alliance.

It also allowed the Senju clan to overwhelm the Uchiha clan and helped it consolidate its position as the largest ninja clan in the ninja world.

Later, the invention of the sealing technique allowed Konoha to have the most perfect jinchūriki compared to other ninja villages.

Last time, the major ninja clans suffered big losses at the hands of Konoha.

To be precise, it should be in the hands of Senju Hashirama.

After more than ten years of self-cultivation, they decided to make a comeback.

But this time, they learned to be smart. If they want to defeat Konoha,

The first priority is the Uzumaki clan.

And as long as the Uzumaki clan is destroyed, it is equivalent to destroying an arm of Konoha.

……

In Whinchao Village, the prairie fire was ablaze with smoke and war was raging.

The five major ninja villages simultaneously launched a long-planned war against the Uzumaki clan.

Yes, the five great ninja villages,

The ten years of peaceful development have not only allowed Konoha Village to develop rapidly.

However, some small countries have also developed rapidly, such as a small country that rains all year round, the Country of Rain.

The reason why the Kingdom of Rain can rise so quickly is because they have a genius who came out of nowhere.

The being who is said to have the second Hashirama talent, Sansho Hanzo.

Because of him, Amegakure Village has jumped up and has the potential to become the sixth largest ninja village.

And because the Rain Hidden Village is adjacent to the Uzumaki clan, it also joined the siege.

The five major ninja villages attacked together. Even the Uzumaki clan had already deployed an ancient barrier technique.

But under the bombardment of many ninjutsu, he couldn't resist.

At this point, it finally broke down.

Before the enemy attacked, the Uzumaki clan had already arranged for the orderly evacuation of the elderly, women, children, etc.

The adult men and women of the Uzumaki clan joined the war to resist the intruders.

Open a way of life for the new generation.

At the same time, people were sent to notify the Hidden Leaf Village, hoping that they would send reinforcements as soon as possible.

But whether it can last is unknown.

Next came the cruel baptism of war and the spread of war smoke.

Powerful ninjutsu from all over the world, showing amazing destructive power,

The entire Uzumaki clan was destroyed.

There are broken walls and ruins everywhere.

On the border of the Kingdom of Whirlpool,

An old man escorts a little girl to retreat.

The old man looks old and aged,

Sparse and gray hair mixed with some red,

I can still see the shadow of being a member of the Uzumaki clan,

However, at this time, his body was covered with scars in many places.

He coughs up blood from time to time.

The little girl has bright, fiery red hair and is about four or five years old.

But his body is filled with huge chakra and vitality.

At this time, I came into contact with war for the first time.

The originally delicate, cute and energetic little face was full of nervousness.

Her name is Uzumaki Kushina.

The next generation of the Nine-Tailed Jinchuuriki was selected.

He was originally going to be sent to Konoha when he reached adulthood, but now he had to move forward.

The old man's injuries became more serious, with multiple injuries on his body.

As he walked with the little girl in his arms, there was a trail of blood behind him.

At this time, his life has reached its limit.

His body couldn't support him and he continued on his way.

If you rush at this speed, the enemy will catch up soon.

The old man couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"Miss, I've been accompanying you all this way. You go first. Konoha's reinforcements will be here soon..."

The old man stopped and said softly.

He looked at Kushina with eyes full of endearment and reluctance.

His voice was soft, warm, and full of vicissitudes of life.

"Second grandpa..."

The little girl tightly grasped the old man's clothes,

He looked terrified and helpless.

"Kushina-chan, this is war, you have to live strong."

The old man's old face was covered with scars, but at this moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, ferocious and kind.

"Second Grandpa...wuwuwu...don't go, I'm afraid..."

The little girl's eyes were dim with tears and she refused to let go of the old man's clothes.

"What do you look like crying? We, the Uzumaki clan, are the descendants of the Emperor of Heaven. There are no weaklings!"

The old man suddenly scolded and shook off the little girl's hand.

The little girl was still sobbing quietly.

However, when I heard the word "Emperor of Heaven", my nervousness gradually calmed down.

His eyes gradually became firmer.

The old man's eyes also flashed with heartache and self-blame. From childhood to adulthood,

How could the old man have the heart to scold her like this?

However, he still suppressed the reluctance in his heart, sighed softly, and said:

"Kushina-chan, everyone in the world has forgotten the name of the Emperor of Heaven, only we, the Uzumaki clan, still remember it.

For us, isn’t this a favor from the Emperor of Heaven?We must remember not to lose the reputation of the Emperor of Heaven. "

When the old man said this, his face was full of sanctity, and his eyes showed unprecedented brilliance.

It was like a pilgrim's gaze.

The little girl nodded in understanding, but she had already wiped away her tears with her small hands.

"Kushina-chan, let's play one last game."

The old man's voice softened.

"What game...Second Grandpa..."

The little girl's voice was still sobbing.

"When I shout from three to one, you start running. No matter what, don't look back."

"Second Grandpa doesn't leave, as long as you keep running... Second Grandpa will find you... okay..."

"it is good……"

The little girl nodded.

"That's for sure."

She held out a little finger.

When relatives passed away one by one beside her,

She really only has this old man who has grown up with her since childhood...

"It's a word."

The old man smiled, stretched out his hand covered with wrinkles and calluses, and hooked it with the little girl's tender fingers.

"Kushina-chan... don't look back... run forward boldly..."

The old man said, gently letting go of the little girl's tender little hand, and pushing her forward.

The old man turned around and looked at the dense shadows that began to appear in the distance.

"3..."

The old man read.

The little girl's body trembled, and after she completely left the old man's warmth,

The wild wind blew, and there were no warm arms to protect her from the cold wind.

"2..."

The little girl turned her back to the old man, her body began to tremble slightly, and she wanted to sob...

This is an instinct that she cannot control at this age...

But she desperately covered her mouth... to prevent herself from crying...

"1..."

"run!"

As the old man shouted loudly.

The little girl began to run forward as hard as she could.

She ran crookedly and stumbled.

He even hit a stone on the side of the road because he was running too fast and fell to the ground.

The tender white skin was immediately covered with a large patch of red.

But she got up immediately. She didn't stop, but continued to run forward.

She was crying and running at the same time... Only if she kept running forward... would the old man come back...

This is the promise she made with the old man...
